Hi there, That's right. MEME will be performing 4/4-5/2003 on WCBN Ann Arbor (streamed to the net). There will be plenty of Wiard on the air (and virtual air) that night. The details (about MEME and the performance) can be found at: http://www.mlswebworks.com/meme.html for those

> Anyone else up to anything with your Wiard this month? I'll be Wiarding on WCBN in Ann Arbor at midnite tonite, and I believe that MEME is next Friday. Double dose of Wiard on the airwaves.

Gee, March is almost over, and not a single post! I suppose everyone's busy using their Wiards... Lately, I've been interfacing mine with a Moog Voyager. Extra yummy! Hope to hear from y'all soon! -andrew bunny

Hello all, I'm new to the list so I just wanted to hi. Some of you may know me from analogue heaven. Anyway, I have an 8 module system and have been using it everyday for almost 2 months now and am quite impressed with both the sound and flexibilty. The sine wave is hands down th

Doc, A lag, such as the bidectional slew found on the VCO should do the trick. Thanks for the analysis! It's funny, at Calarts, there were two SOUs in each system -I used both modules on every patch that I made on the Buchla. On my Serge, there are 6 Stepped and Smooth Generators

Hello Herr Doktor, Can you clarify something on the first sheet of Woggle mods? For mod 2 you've got the cathode of Vactrol VC1 connecting directly to +15 V. Looking at that and the 555 control circuitry in the third mod,it looks like Vactrol VC2 is completely left out of the ori

I just received a rev2 wave city and noticed that the sqr output has been replaced by a triangle. This is a nice improvement, I think, because it's another way to sweep the waveshaper. Square waves are possible through waveshaping. Win-win.

For anyone who's interested, I've posted a new quicktime movie of my 9 module system mating with some Blacet. It's replaced the older movie that was originally there. I suppose this is some of that alatork music because it's self sequencing. Much Woggle indeed. 12.5 meg Located a

Since I already brought it up by addressing the email wrongly, I'll finish it just so it's in the group archives... It's the lag processor that's jumper set for linear or exponential slopes, and I read it straight on the VCO's own webpage. (Been a while) --- In wiardgroup@yahoogr

Hello Grant, Personally I see lag processors as a requirement as much as envelopes, especially if the two slope times can be set independently! Now for a different subject of the same module: I recall reading that either the VCA's response or the lag's slopes could be changed bet

The Wiard Classic VCO and Waveform City modules contain circuits with knobs labeled Attack and Release. In the case where the Gate input is fed a clean 0 to 10 volt gate signal, the output of the circuit will look like an Attack and Release envelope. This is not and actual envelo

John Simonton of PAIA originated an inexpensive 19" rack mounting system he dubbed the Frac-Rac. This is based on a 5.25" panel height with width multiples of 1.5", 3" and 4.5" John Blacet went on to develop an very elegant power supply distribution system, and a bunch of great m

Clocking the Woggle at audio rates and using either the step cv out or woggle tone out achieve some intruiging noise flavors that sound vaguely pinkish one minute, and squealing pseudo-digital the next. Cool patch btw. >OTOH, the Wogglebug can't really make white/ >pink noise (if

Why was the Borg used as a VCA? Because it has a VCA mode. The Borg Filter is a further developement of the Buchla low pass gate, which had three modes - vca, filter, and both. When the Borg is swtiched to VCA mode, the filter is a single pole filter with no resonance. This is si

Ah, thanks, now I get it. You aren't actually amplifying the signal when using a filter this way, but rather de-amplifying it, if you will by using the closed/open nature of the filter to control the overall volume level. That I understand, I just didn't get how a filter could am
